something wrong with polyps


Bought 2 polyps and a zoo from Petland of duluth wednesday cause they were having a sale(which im sure some of you went to) and brought them home and the zoo was doing fine and is already showing growth but the polyps arent evenin opening up

i havent checked my water parms for the last two weeks but hopefully will soon but here is everything else that is going on:
10g tank
have two other zoos in the tank that are doing well
about 10pounds of LR
96watt lighting
have pods running all over the polyps and 1 made a home under one of the polyps(and gaurds it well)

yea they opened the last two days a little and now they arent opening at all so if they didnt open at all before then i would agree with your statement but in this case that isnt the problem

it can take up to a week for them to open due to a lot of stress that they get from moving tanks and having new water and lighting parms. They will open fine, they always do, just make sure they are in an area with flow.
